Again, please look at THE VT15 proposal, a lot of things are discussed. SPQR> Frank says documents shpuld process identically at all sites. and he is absolutely right. What is suggested by the VT15WG is that THE default language be something like a "null" language ie without any usual \patterns. That way documents could be processed identically at all sites when there is no real language is specified. If there is one then the installation needs to have defined it. SPQR> if the hyphenation can depend on the site, the encoding can too, yes? Obviously, the hyphenation files (ie \patterns) depend on the site. It a fact! The (font) encoding remains user dependent. There is an installation default for the font-encoding but nobody can avoid that the user change it. --bg
